CE marking on products for the European market:
applicable directives, industrial and commercial practices and responsibility
â– The CE marking of European conformity has been made compulsory for a large number of products by around twenty Directives that aim to achieve technical harmonisation in the community. Its application has caused an upheaval in fundamental technical and commercial data, which have been a reference until now for manufacturers, prime manufacturers, sub-contractors, importers, distributors, and their customers. The CE marking is consequently an asset that firms need to have to keep their contracts and win new ones.
For each corresponding Directive that applies to their products, companies and their managers must determine and be aware of their new obligations and their new rights on both a technical and commercial level. They are fully and entirely responsible for product conformity; general Directive 85/374/EEC, now transposed into French law, increases this responsibility in the event of “faulty products”.
For each of the nineteen Directives concerned, the survey provides clear, precise and complete information on each regulatory aspect on a European and national level: applicable texts, field of application, calendar, overlaps between the different Directives, ways of proving conformity, the use of standards, organisations to contact, national transposition, controls, infractions, sanctions, recourse, etc. Checklists for the different situations of responsibility within the company are included.
All contact information, practical information and useful references are listed, along with over 200 key words of regulatory terminology in a tri-lingual glossary.
